Additional way to get/spend points

If you are a member of the MTS Bonus program, but so far no reward entices you, you can give your accumulated points to a friend. And on the contrary, if you don’t have enough to order the reward you like, another MTS subscriber can transfer MTS points to you.

There are two ways to do this.

1. Send a message to number 4555 with the text “DAR subscriber number, sum of points.” Example: “DAR 89105746655 500.” Or the text could be: “GIFT phone points.” Example: "GIFT 89105746655 500".
2. In the second option, the same personal page “MTS Bonus” will come to the rescue, where by filling out a certain form and indicating the recipient’s phone number, you can transfer the accumulated points.

After this, the subscriber to whom the gift was given must accept it. To do this, you need to click on the “Accept” button on your personal page or send a message with the text “ACCEPT sender’s phone number”. Example: "ACCEPT 89155675435".

By calling the operator

The MTS operator's help desk assists subscribers in connecting tariffs, services, options, and provides various information about the subscriber's number.

1. Use number 0500 when calling from an MTS number, or number 8800-550-0500 from any mobile network or landline phone to call the support center.
2. Listen to the answering machine instructions, then press the “0” key and wait for the operator to connect.
3. Ask him to give you information about the number of accumulated bonus points on your number.

The operator may require your passport details and control information specified in the agreement with the operator for communication services. Therefore, prepare your passport in advance.

Attention!

In conclusion, we need to mention one more very important point. One day you may go to your personal page to check the balance of your bonus points, and see that there are slightly less of them than expected, although you did not spend anything. The thing is that bonuses are valid for a year from the date of accrual. And after 365 days they begin to gradually burn out. That is, if, for example, you were awarded 50 points for September 2013, then in September 2014 they will no longer be valid. So we advise you not to neglect the MTS Bonus program and take advantage of the opportunity to save on mobile communications or buy nice gifts.

Mobile application "MTS SERVICE"

For MTS subscribers who own equipment on the iOS or Android platforms, there is another convenient way to monitor their bonus balance - the MTS SERVICE application. To download this application, go to itunes.apple.com or play.google.com and install it according to the instructions. Next, you should disconnect the Wi-FI connection and run the program. On the page that opens, you need to put o and wait for an SMS notification with information. The resulting code must be entered into the appropriate box on the page. To find out the number of currently active bonus points, you need to go to the “Personal Account” section.
